To accomplish these goals, this proposal describes how the ICS-Next network, announcing, and information assurance architectures will be developed and documented. The proposal also describes how a prototype ICS-Next would be constructed with these architectures using commercial components. The proposal also describes how this prototype would then be used to confirm the ability of ICS-Next to meet all of the fundamental communication requirements in addition to demonstrating a number of new communications capabilities and services.
